Jonas Denzel

Jonas Denzel’s work for ART on THE MART, titled explore, featured a barrage of hands discovering the architecture of THE MART's façade. Inspired by drums, Denzel’s work is often interactive and rhythmically adept, created in reference to the surrounding environment – not just visually but also in terms of sound. 

For his ART on THE MART commission, hands knocked, rubbed, clapped and performed a rhythmchoreography across one of Chicago’s most iconic buildings, encouraging members of the public to join in. The work, in turn, transformed the building itself into a towering musical instrument. Denzel is a veteran in the field of projection mapping as public art, having presented his work in various venues around the world.
